Best of Sum 41: 8 Years of Blood, Sake and Tears

Strollin' to the party like my name is El ninio
Well I'm hangin' out drinking in the back of an El camino
As a kid, was a skid and no one knew me by name.
I trashed my own house party cause no body came.

Well I know I'm not the one you thought you knew back in high school
Never going, never showing up when we had to.
Attention that we crave don't tell us to behave,
I'm sick of always hearing act your age.

I don't want to waste my time
Become another casualty of society.
I'll never fall in line
Become another victim of your conformity
And back down.

Because you don't
Know us at all we laugh when old people fall.
But what would you expect with a conscience so small.
Heavy metal and mullets is how we were raised.
Maiden and priest were the gods that we praised

Cause we like having fun at other peoples expense and,
Cutting people down is just a minor offense then,
It's none of your concern, I guess I'll never learn.
I'm sick of being told to wait my turn.

I don't want to waste my time
Become another casualty of society.
I'll never fall in line
Become another victim of your conformity
And back down.

Don't count on me, to let you know when.
Don't count on me, I'll do it again.
Don't count on me, it's the point you're missing.
Don't count on me, cause I'm not listening.

Well I'm a no goodick lower middle class brat,
Back packed and I don't give a shit about nothing.
You be standing on the corner talking all that kufuffin.
But you won't make any sense from all the gas you'll be huffing.
And if the egg don't stain you'll be ringing off the hook,
You're on the hit list wanted in the telephone book.
I like songs with distortion, drinkin' in proportion.
The doctor said my mom should have had an abortion.

I don't want to waste my time
Become another casualty of society.
I'll never fall in line
Become another victim of your conformity
And back down.
Waste my time with a
Casualty of society.
Waste my time with a
Victim of your conformity
And back down.

I tried to be perfect
But nothing was worth it
I don't believe it makes me real
I'd thought it'd be easy
But no one believes me
I meant all the things I said

[Chorus]
If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I'm better off on my own

This place is so empty
My thoughts are so tempting
I don't know how it got so bad
Sometimes it's so crazy that nothing could save me
But it's the only thing that I have

[Chorus]

(On my own!)

I tried to be perfect
It just wasn't worth it
Nothing could ever be so wrong
It's hard to believe me
It never gets easy
I guess I knew that all along

[Chorus]

Everybody's got their problems
Everybody says the same things to you
It's just a matter how you solve them
And knowing hot to change the things you've been through

I feel I've come to realize
How fast life can be compromised
Step back to see what's going on
I can't believe this happened to you
This happened to you

It's just a problem that I'm faced with am I
Not the only one who hates to stand by
Complications that are first in this line
With all these pictures running through my mind

Knowing endless consequences
I feel so useless in this
Can't back, stand back, can't ask
For me I can't believe

Part of me, won't agree
Cause I don't know if it's for sure
Suddenly, suddenly
I don't feel so insecure

Part of me, won't agree
Cause I don't know if it's for sure
Suddenly, suddenly
I don't feel so insecure
Anymore

Everybody's got their problems
Everybody says the same things to you
It's just a matter how you solve them
But what else are we supposed to do

Part of me, won't agree
Cause I don't know if it's for sure
Suddenly, suddenly
I don't feel so insecure

Part of me, won't agree
Cause I don't know if it's for sure
Suddenly, suddenly
I don't feel so insecure
Anymore

[Repeat: x2]
Why do things that matter the most
Never end up being our choice
Now that I find no way so bad
I don't think I knew what I had

The seas have parted,
the endings started,
the sky has turned to black.
A killing spree through eternity,
the devil stabs you in the back,
It's midnight now you must escape somehow,
torture is his leisure,
don't try to hide he'll make you subside,
as he exchanges pain for pleasure,

[Chorus]
Pain for pleasure, he's the hunter you're the game,
Pain for pleasure, Satan is his name!"

Take everything left from me
All! to! blame!

How can we still succeed taking what we don't need?
Telling lies, alibis, selling all the hate that we breed,
Super-size our tragedies (you can't define me, or justify greed),
Bought in the land of the free, (land, free)

And we're all to blame,
We've gone to far, from pride to shame,
We're trying so hard,
We're dying in vain,
We're hopelessly blissful and blind,
To all we are,
We want it all,
With no sacrifice!

Realize we spend our lives living in a culture of fear,
Stand to salute say thanks to the man of the year,
How did we all come to this (you can't define me, or justify greed),
A greed that we just can't resist (resist)

And we're all to blame,
We've gone to far,
From pride to shame,
We're trying so hard,
We're dying in vain,
We're hopelessly blissful and blind,
To all we are,
We want it all,
With no sacrifice!

Tell me now,
What have we done,
We don't know,
I can't allow,
What has begun to tear me down believe me now,
We have no choice left with our backs against the wall!

And now,
We're all to blame,
We've gone to far,
From pride to shame,
We're hopelessly blissful and blind,
When all we need,
Is something true to believe,
Don't we all,
Everyone,
Everyone,
We will fall,

Cause we're all to blame,
We've gone to far,
From pride to shame,
We're trying so hard,
We're dying in vain,
We want it all,
Everyone,
Don't we all

What's the point of never knowing at all?
When every step I take is always too small.
Maybe it's just something I can't admit,
But lately I feel like I don't give a shit.

[Chorus]
Motivation such an aggravation
Accusations don't know how to take them
Inspiration getting hard to fake it
Concentration never hard to break it
Situation never what you want it to be

What's the point of never making mistakes
Self-indulgence's such a hard habit to break
It's all just a waste of time in the end
Don't care, so why should I even pretend?

[Chorus: x2]

Never what you want it to be,
Never what you want it to be

You said it once before
You don't do those things you used to anymore,
You say in doubt, we're fading out
Forgetting who we used to be.

[Chorus]
Cause I will bring you down,
I don't want to miss, I don't think you can handle this,
You've lost what you can't find, never what you had in mind.

You take it with a smile, it's so easy when you're always in denial,
Just in time, but out of line,
I can't make all the same mistakes you want me to.

[Chorus]

You're giving up, you know it's not what you need,
And it's true what your going through, try so hard not to listen to, everything I never say.

[Chorus]

I'm getting over, getting use to, and after all that I put you through, now I see,
I'm not the only one,
Never thought it would ever come to, this in fact was never what you wanted from me,
Or how you meant it to be

What happened to you
You've played the victim for so long now in this game
What I thought was true
Is made of fiction and I'm following the same

But if I try to make sense of this mess I'm in
I'm not sure where I should begin
I'm fallin'
I'm fallin'

[Chorus]
Now I'm in over my head
with something I said
Completely misread
I'm better off dead
And now I can see
How fake you can be
This hypocrisy is beginning to get to me

It's none of my concern
Don't look to me because I don't believe in fame
I guess you never heard
I've met our makers they don't even know your name

But if I had to say goodbye to leave this hell
I'd say my time has served me well
I'm fallin'
I'm fallin'

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
This came long before
Those who suffer more
I'm too awake for this to be a nightmare

What's with my disgrace
I lost the human race
No one plans for it to blow up in their face

Who said it was easy to put back all these pieces
Who said it was so easy to put back all of these pieces

[Chorus]

Over my head
Better off dead

Over my head
Better off dead

Alright!
